Question I have a 2014 Honda accord and is it definitely the caliper if I hear like grinding and like metal sound as I pull off
@fixithoney4 күн бұрын
Thank you for the question. These cars are known for having rear caliper issue. In my case i was able to take it apart and clean/lubricate everything and it was okay. But eventually it was too much and just needed to be replaced. Its worth just taking a look first to confirm rather then spending money you don't need.

I have a odd question. On timing belts you have to switch out the tensioner while TDC to catch slack side. Does that not apply when doing tensioner with timing chain?
@fixithoneyАй бұрын
There will be slack with a chain and gets taken up once the engine is running and oil is pressurizing the tensioner properly. This is manily because the honda tensioner are known to loose there tension at cold start and goes away once running and filled with oil. I hope this helped please subscribe if you haven't already ✌️

Get your battery tested. When your starter is faulty, your starter and alternator will both fail. Your alternator will fail because the starter is not cranking voltage to the alternator. Because of this, your car battery will deplete much faster. I go to autozone for this test. Autozone, O'reilly, Advanced Auto Parts, Napa Auto Parts are some stores that come to mind if you need replacing. I always buy new parts, never remanufactured.

I realized where I messed up. When I installed the new tensioner and pulled out the pin, it didn't move. It was kind of resting on the chain guide anyway so I figured it was fine. DO NOT CONTINUE IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU. Poke/hit the tensioner until it extends TIGHT onto the guide, or have it towed to a honda mechanic. You will save a lot of money getting it fixed from this state compared to bent valves and damaged pistons. Also I used a brand new tensioner purchased and picked up from a Honda dealership, verified with my VIN, verified with the TSB. Good luck and be CAREFUL everyone.

After turning the crank counter clockwise 90 degrees to compress the tensioner and inserting the pin, the crank should have been turned clockwise 90 degrees in order for the chain slack to be on the compressed tensioner. As the video shows, when the new tensioner was installed and pin pulled, the piston didn’t quite go up because the tension was still on the chain. As the slack was on the opposite side, when the engine was cranked, it caused the timing to go off as the newly installed tensioner was building pressure. If you visualize what I’m saying, you’ll understand why your timing jumped.
